Warlord

"One title just wasn't enough for Emrys. King Slayer, Beacon of Hope... Warlord. Honestly, I'm not sure which one he prefers but all of them involve him doing a crazy amount of damage to someone. Verbally or physically..."

— Freya Holliend, The Beacons of Hope

Warlord is the title given to the leader of New Purgatory. This designates them as the official decision maker for the settlement, and the head of any military battle that involves the soldiers of the settlement. They can be any gender but over the past 1000 years, have been a direct descendent of Emrys Ddraig Sy'n Ddu and Ruthren Ddraig Sy'n Ddu.
The Warlord is expected to be at the top of their military prowess, in whatever manner they choose to fight in. They are expected to be confident leaders, to be able to make decisions that benefit everyone involved, and to be diplomatic enough to stop any battles before they happen if possible. The Warlord is well respected in the community and also in the nearby settlement of Limbo.
